Many students struggle with writing a paragraph. The attached PowerPoint is something I created to teach students how to write one using the layers of a hamburger as their "recipe."
Instructional Objective: Students will increase reading comprehension skills.
Students will be working independently, in the classroom, and will produce answers of story they read. Prior to student commencing this activity, I will instruct them on how to proceed and continue monitoring until they are finished.
Rationale: I use the website Storyline Online with my struggling readers. By giving them this extra reading assignment, they can increase their reading comprehension and increase their reading rate by following along with the reader of the story. This website allows for the student to read along with the reader. This tool allows for independent practice and by using the computer, it breaks away from the traditional reading methods offering visuals as well. I have struggling readers use this program once a day. Please click on the link for complete activity:
